ONA Bags Giveaway

The kind folks at ONA Bags are giving away one of their classic style camera bags, the Palma. I've long admired them for being what seems like one of the first companies to make camera bags that don't scream "camera bag". It's also impressive how small of a company they still are, given how much they do! Below is the lovely and subtle Palma crossbody satchel. It's already a great cognac shade and will probably look even better with some wear and patina.

And for you male readers (I know you're out there), you can win the stylish Brixton messenger.

To enter the giveaway, please either follow ONA Bags on Instagram or Twitter; then leave a comment here and a way to contact you. Apologies that this is only open to those living in the US. (Damn international shipping and customs!)

I will choose a winner at random next Tuesday night (4/29) at 9pm EST.

Thanks to ONA for hosting this giveaway, and best of luck to all entrants!

This bag looks very much like a vintage 90s Coach shoulder bag. One that my mom carried throughout most of her childhood - this bag brings back some memories! Followed on Instagram and I can be reached at domdyson[at]gmail[com].

Ona bags are gorgeous. I also love how their bags don't scream out bulky camera bag. They are stylish, simple, and convenient. Thanks for the giveaway Ona and Alice :) Following on instagram as @ohskie and contact is ohglor@gmail.com

The structure of the ONA Palma camera bag is so aesthetically pleasing with no fuss and minimalistic design but lots of functionality. Looks like the perfect camera bag for travel as well as daily use.

I absolutely love ONA products because I believe they are meant to tell their own story in time. The material is greatly influenced by its environment,- sun will change its color, oil will soften its tone, and time will mold its shape. Contact info at contact[at]jorgeq.com

That is the most beautiful and subtle camera bag! I love it! I'm pretty obsessed with cognac, so that one is perfect. We have a really nice camera that we travel with often, and the bag it is in is the worst. I feel like a tourist every time we step out around town or on a trip with it. What a great give away! lifeissweet83@hotmail.com

I followed Ona's instagram and twitter! I do own Ona's camera straps and I've been eyeing on their awesome bag! Actually Palma is the one i've been wanting because of their simple but sophisticated design! Fingers crossed!!! My instagram is @magg and email is maggiewaldron (at) gmail. Thank you!

The title, "Lingered Upon," is taken from one of my favorite T.S. Eliot poems, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock." Here, it could mean that I lingered upon some moment and made a photo of it. On this blog, you'll find both personal work and "work" work, with plenty of travel and style mixed in.
